(Hint: it is located about as far from Radar Networks as you can get, north Queensland Australia). Four reasons for the coverage: 1. This is pretty much the first social Semantic Web app ever built. That makes it an interesting subject to test and critique and discuss. I have been working with Semantic Web tech for years so I am just a *little* bit curious... 2. The Semantic Web is set to go off in a big way with Yahoo throwing their full weight behind it. 3. Linked Data or the Data Web will become the most important shift to hit the Web since well uh... the start of the Web back in 1991. 4. Twine is also a new breed of Social Networking sites, one that respects that MY data is MINE. Data portability with Semantic Web apps is done and dusted... pixelsoul: If you take the time to read my wonderfully crafted bio up in the top left corner you will see who I work for.

It's beyond just recognizing key words, it's understanding meanings and relationships. Twine does natural language processing and machine learning on everything you throw at it. It gets smarter the more data it's fed. If it learns that you have a brother named Jay, and your brother has a father named Bob, then it knows you have a father named Bob as well.

They seem really keen to get some hackers in their creating widgets that live in Twine and outside of it. They are in the process of releasing an API, not exactly sure when.

An internal platform like Facebook apps maybe? Perhaps as Twine builds the backend and the platform, developers can build the innovative interfaces you want to the information they store. I've been on the beta waiting list for a long time but haven't gotten in yet. Does Twine expose APIs? An internal platform like Facebook apps maybe?
